Winning Ticket
Costs Her Job
EL PASO, Nov. 11—UP—Mrs.
Lupe Gardea was out of a job
Thursday because she was $28,000
in the Irish Sweepstakes, although
Thursday because she won $28,000
in the Irish Sweepstakes, although
she hasn't seen any of her win-
nings.
Harry Bowers, manager of the
supermarket where Mrs. Gardea
worked as a grocery checker, said
she left work because so many
people pestered her.
''Some salesmen called her on
the phone," he said. "Lots of
salesmen came in. Some people
came in jUst to congratulate her.
Some wanted to borrow money.
And lots of people had ideas on
how she could spend her win-
nings."
Mrs. Gardea won the money
Oct. 27, and has received a letter
from sweepstakes headquarters
that she won't get an official no-
tice of her winnings for three
weeks.

Officers Still Seek
to Identify Corpse
DALLAS, Nov. 11 —UP— Okla
homa Crime Bureau agents are
checking the possibility an uniden-
tified corpse found in a burning
station wagon may have been a
former Merchant Marine who had
dental work done in Germany.
Agent Golden Kennedy was in
Dallas Wednesday conferring with
detective Capt. Will Fritz on the
case, which has baffled investiga-
tors. More than 100 possible leads
have been checked without the
victim being identified.
Kennedy theorized that the vic-
tim may have been a Texas man
who had served In the Merchant
Marine and had some dental work
done in Germany. A nine-tooth
bridge found in the mouth of the
charred corpse is the main clue
to his identity.
A Fort Worth man, David Hag-
ler Jr., former vice president of
the U.S. Asphalt Corp., has been
charged with the murder. The
burning station wagon had belong-
ed to Hagler's ex-wife, who said
she loaned it to Hagler that week-
end. The vehicle was found burn-
ing near Davis, Okla., Oct. 10,
with the body inside.
BAND-
(Continued from Page 1)
entitled, "Portrait of a Frontier
Town."
A cornet trio of Gordon Finlay,
Frank Scimonelli, and Harold
Wendt gave the audience one of
the highlights—of which there
were many—of the evening with
their rendition of "The Trumpet-
ers Carnivals" as arranged by Fin-
lay and "The Bugler's Holiday" by
Leroy Anderson.
A inedley of four tunes from the
ever-popular "Showboat" and the
playing of John Phillip Sousa's
"Stars and Stripes Forever" cli-
maxed the first half of the con-
cert.
"Hungarian Rhapsody" by the
the entire band and versatile harp
solo by Swinson were next, fol-
lowed by a nautical mood created
by Phillip Lang "Sea Medley" tak-
en from some of the most popu-
lar songs of the sea.
Morris then presented his oper-
atic aria and gave a spelndid en-
core when he sang "Because." The
finale was a medley of Leroy An-
derson's compositions with the soft,
lilting strains of "The Last Rose
of Summer" taking the spotlight.
Three encore numbers were top-
ped by the band's rendition of their
own service song, "Anchors
Aweigh" in the manner that only
they can play it.—M. F.

Balchelor Begins
Serving Sentence
Al Camp Crowder
CAMP CROWDER, Mo., Nov. 11
—UP—Cpl. Claude J. Batchelor of
Kermit, Tex., began serving 20
years at hard labor in the disci-
plinary barracks at Camp Crowd-
er Thursday for helping his Red
captors while a POW in North Ko-
rea.
The 22-yearold Batchelor was
sentenced to life by the court mar-
tial which found him guilty Sept.
30 at San Antpnio, but the sen-
tence was cut by Lt. Gen. I. D.
White, Fourth Army commander.
He was flown to Camp Crowder
Wednesday from San Antonio.
Batchelor's trial must be re-
viewed by the Army judge advo-
cate general's office in Washing-
ton, and he can then ask the mili-
tary appeals court, composed of
civilians, to look at it, too.
Batchelor's sentence also includ-
ed a dishonorable discharge and
forfeiture of pay and allowances.
Army sources said he would be eli-
gible for parole, assuming good
conduct in prison, after serving
six years and eight months, a
third of his sentence.
Servicemen convicted of milita-
ry offenses frequently are permit-
ted to re-enlist, on probation, aft
er serving a portion of their sen-
tences, but there was no indica-
tion whether Batchelor was in this
category,
General White, when he reduced
the sentence, expressed the hope
the Army's rehabilitation program
would help Batchelor, who lied
about his age and volunteered for
the peacetime Army at 16.
Batchelor was convicted by a
court martial of eight officers of
collaborating with the Commu-
nists and informing on fellow pris-
oners, to get better treatment for
himself.
Cpl. Edward S. Dickenson,
Crackers Neck, Va., and Batche-
lor were two of 22 Americans who
decided to remain with the Reds
as "peace fighters" after the ex-
change of prisoners in Korea. But
both changed their minds and
came back to the U.S. side, Batch-
